    ok, so by your theory Snowden is being waterboarded to hand over his laptops to the russians when he would just show them what he has in the first place? Snowden has literally noth…

    I have to disagree. You are being fooled into thinking that is a stealth fighter or bomber. Its not. It's a drone which is at mini-scale to the actual aircraft you may be referring…

    I agree, I am a big fan of github, but the more I understand git in general, the less fond I am of github's evangelism. I'm definitely not a git expert but I did shutdown my github…
